Low Energy Laser Spectroscopy LELS

ABSTRACT

An extremely sensitive spectroscopy method utilizes a laser modified to an extremely low emission with an integrated control system, interfaced within a typical Raman platform to comprise low energy laser spectroscopy (LELS). LELS acquires and utilizes a quantum entangled state of photons and particles, including omnipresent cosmological dark matter particles (OCDM) and omnipresent cosmological dark energy (OCDE). The OCDM and OCDE matter has an affinity to particles of same OCDM and OCDE matter in target specimens, with same-time data results of high sensitivity. In a semiconductor light emitter, electron flow at a low energy level is provided to a quantum well to produce a quantum tunneling of electrons into an active region of the laser quantum well and creating sublasering. Sublasering allows OCDM and OCDE to become entangled with other particles and energies in the laser&#39;s quantum well and create a transmission package comprising quantum entangled fields, waves, wave packages, states and energies. Providing a triggering pulse causes a second tunneling, carrying the transmission package for emission.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a Continuation of patent application Ser. No. 14/559,744 entitled “Low Energy Laser Spectroscopy—LELS” and filed on Dec. 3, 2014. The contents of this application are fully incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

The present subject matter relates to spectroscopy, e.g., laser Raman spectroscopy, in general and more particularly to irradiation of samples by gentle low energy and generation of spectra of energies returned from the irradiated samples.

BACKGROUND

Prior forms of spectroscopy have used relatively high levels of energy to induce radiation by a sample. This has left unresolved problems in many different applications.

For example, there have been innovative oncology discoveries using fluorescent dyes and bio tags to target tumor sites. Some of the chemicals used in lab research and the use of high energy lasers are not conducive for in vivo human tissue study. Further, the necessity of a less invasive tumor biopsy device is preferable as needle biopsy of a cancerous tumor may risk dispersion of cancerous cells from the sample site upon withdrawal of the biopsy needle from a target tumor specimen.

SUMMARY

In accordance with the present subject matter, use is made of particles with unusual properties that have been found. The low energy laser method allows for omnipresent cosmological dark matter particles (OCDM) and omnipresent cosmological dark energy (OCDE) to become entangled with other particles and energies in the laser's quantum well. The quantum entangled fields, waves, wave packages, states and energies and are carried along to laser emission. The OCDM, defined by its properties on spectral display, has a natural affinity to OCDM omnipresent in all molecules and in the bonds around molecules. The OCDM has the capability of quantum tunneling, sampling specimen data, collecting specimen excitation data, and same time reemission back through the tunnel created.

After reemission to the spectrometer, the resulting spectra display a temporal delay. The irradiated entangled particle energies increase incrementally for many minutes after excitation. The low energy laser spectroscopy (LELS) spectroscopic method has extreme sensitivity and noiseless spectra using a single strand fiber optic for both emission to and reemission from an irradiated target specimen. This spectroscopic method may also use a long laser convergence, exclusive to LELS, increasing its usefulness for medical and many other spectroscopic arts.

DESCRIPTION

An unusual and extremely sensitive form of spectroscopy uses a laser modified to an extremely low emission with external trigger command. In one preferred form, the modified laser is interfaced within a typical Raman platform which utilizes the capabilities of optics and electronics as a unit, thus creating low energy laser spectroscopy (LELS). LELS spectroscopy acquires a quantum entangled state of photons and particles, among which are those particles which are known to constitute approximately 93% of all matter in the universe, namely omnipresent cosmological dark matter particles (OCDM) and omnipresent cosmological dark energy (OCDE). The demonstrable behavior of OCDM and OCDE in nano scale as used by LELS holds universally true as OCDM and OCDE's macro scale behavior do in the cosmos as accepted by leading cosmologists' writings. Among the unique attributes of LELS methodology is a novel long length laser convergence extended single strand fiber optic probe which simultaneously emits and collects energies.

OCDM and OCDE acquisition opens new fields of science, chemistry and physics, and applications in medical, oncology, bio, food and pharmaceutical safety, chemical, and pathogen detection. LELS also detects counterfeit drug, currency, and fine art forgery; it has uses in mineral assay, crystal identification, precious gem authentication and identification. LELS also is capable of illicit drug and hazardous material detection, explosives detection, and secure uses for communications, cryptography, cosmology, astrophysics, propulsion, teleportation, and transportation. LELS spectroscopy has uses in pharmacology, biophysics, biochemistry, biotechnology, engineering, quantum computing, astrophysics, particle physics, optical sciences, communications and manufacturing.

Many applications have been found and more are possible from this novel discovery and inexpensive method of acquisition of OCDM and OCDE. The method of acquisition and the products of the method of acquisition of the quantum entangled states, fields, waves, wave packages, and energies as acquired by the LELS method are novel, exclusive and show a proven temporal delay in the spectroscopic display. The spectral count increases incrementally upon subsequent readings of the same spectral sample many minutes after initial excitation, evidencing a continued propagation of energy.

LELS is a spectroscopy method of novel and diverse uses. LELS was initially used for nondestructive laser spectroscopy developed for in vivo tumor tissue studies which is non-invasive to a tumor. This embodiment uses carbon fluorine, CF, one of the strongest bonds used to identify bio markers, bio tags and reagents. CF is a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted compound used in some chemotherapy solutions. The success of creating the gentle-low energy laser method for medical diagnostics and other uses was accomplished with diligent R&D and testing. It has been shown much interest in the cancer research arena. The medical community's interest in acquiring this device demonstrates that LELS is a significant contribution to gentle, safe and fast oncology diagnosis and treatment. The method and device acquire and utilize unknown particles which may include OCDM and OCDE together with photons, electrons, particles, waves, wave packages, fields and energies in quantum entanglement. The laser produces a low energy excitation in the quantum well region. The electron flow to the N-P semiconductor produces a quantum tunneling of electrons into the active region of the laser quantum well creating a sub lasering low energy level, acquisition and propagation of particles, photons, electrons, OCDM and OCDE energies and waves within a quantum entangled state. The paired states are energetically favored, and electrons go in and out of those states preferentially.

The demonstrable behaviors of OCDM and OCDE on a nano scale hold universally true as OCDM and OCDE's observed attributes in macro scale in the cosmos. Many heretofore impossible scientific and physics uses may come of this discovery and invention. Secure communications and a non-decoherent quantum computer may be developed from the acquisition (ODMP) and OCDE, as the quantum particle duality in combination with time differential enables information to be transferred securely in same time increments or stored in time with complete security for future retrieval. Applications for use of OCDM and OCDE have not been fully explored, and are only now found with LELS method and invention, although through diligent R&D.

It has become clear that OCDM and OCDE may be acquired by many other means claimed here; through laser emissions, diode emissions, quantum tunneling, acoustics, electronic pulse, oscillation, spectroscopy of all types, Raman spectroscopy, stokes, antistokes, scalar field, scalar wave, microscopy, optical generating, optical signals, optical pulses, semiconductor, super cooled semiconductors, manipulation of photons, manipulation of particles, material excited by excitation fields, superposition, super symmetry, signal beam, wave energies, wave packages, solar and magnetic activity, unknown particles and fields, unknown waves, wave packages, wave energies, harmonic frequencies, vibrational energies, holographic display, atmospheric audio and spectral display, atomic and sub atomic particles, supercooled atomic and subatomic particles, and particle duality states, for the acquisition or use of OCDM and OCDE.

LELS invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to specific embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made thereto within the spirit and scope of the invention. The acquisition and method of acquisition of OCDM and OCDE findings and LELS in any of its possible configurations is an invaluable medical, technical, industrial and scientific resource. The relevant teachings of all the references, patents and patent applications cited are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

In some variations of the LELS method, the single strand longer length LELS probe method may be adapted for same-time multiple array sampling for pharmaceutical and many other scientific and commercial tests, an extended single strand fiber optic probe which simultaneously emits and collects energies. LELS uses exclusive pre-tested bioorganic, biomedical, cellular and chemical tags and markers and reagents. The method of acquisition and the products of the method of acquisition of the quantum entangled states, fields, waves, wave packages, and energies as acquired by the LELS method are novel, exclusive and show a proven temporal delay in the spectroscopic display.

The spectral count increases incrementally upon subsequent readings of the same spectral sample many minutes after initial excitation, evidencing continued propagation of energy. The LELS temporal delay effect has been observed and verified on spectral display from nanoseconds to many minutes long. These novel scientific and commercial discoveries and uses are possible which were only conceptualized heretofore. The LELS quantum energy emission and collection analyzes and quantifies the data of liquids, gasses, and solids without prior preparation. The same quantum emission tunnels through pharmaceutical packaging, solid pharmaceutical tablets and other solids without prior preparation.

LELS practical applications include a nondestructive low energy medical biopsy and collections probe, advancing oncological research and therapeutic uses by years. LELS method advances pharmaceutical, biological, chemical, mineral and hazardous material identification in real time, with simultaneous multiple sampling and remote sampling capabilities. LELS evidences exclusive same-time detection of bioorganic, biomedical, cellular and chemical tags and markers. LELS utilizes extremely sensitive counterfeit pharmaceutical and currency detection capability, and geological, metallurgical, gemological assay and verification. The low energy device has reliable unique properties, extreme sensitivity, diversity and functionality for many uses and yet to be explored uses. LELS method of sample detection and assay is inexpensive to acquire and to operate. The acquisition and use of OCDM and OCDE, among diverse particles, elements and energies, atomic and subatomic, may be accomplished by other proprietary methods as discovered within the scope of this invention.

These embodiments and methods, and any product and application of these methods are considered to be within the scope of this discovery and invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a low energy laser spectroscopy system constructed in accordance with the present subject matter. A computer interface 1 is coupled to the LELS platform system. A USB 2.0 cable couples the computer interface 1 to an ICCD camera and photomultiplier 2, or another scanner-detector, according to an illustrative embodiment of the invention. The ICCD camera and photomultiplier 2 is coupled to a spectrograph 3 and to an external trigger of an adjustable external power supply 4. The spectrograph 3 is coupled to the ICCD camera and photomultiplier 2. The adjustable external power supply 4 is coupled to a Q switched laser 5 by a cable from external trigger integrated into the ICCD camera and photomultiplier 2. The adjustable power supply 4 is coupled by cable to the laser 5.

The Q switched laser 5 is a green 532 nm YAG Laser, or another laser, with excitation fiber cable output to a Raman probe 6. The Raman probe 6 has two RF shielded internally connected coated fiber optic cables. A cable from the laser 5 couples excitation emissions to Raman probe 6. Collections of energies leaving the probe 6 are transmitted to and coupled to the spectrograph 3.

Emissions energies are transmitted from the laser 5 through the Raman probe 6 to a sample specimen for irradiation via a focal convergence field 7. The collections of the product of the irradiated sample return through the focal convergence field 7 into Raman probe 6 and thereon transmitted through collections fiber to spectrograph 3.

FIG. 2 consists of FIGS. 2A through 2G, wherein FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional illustration of the Raman probe 6 which both excites and collects energy from a specimen sample 10. A fiber optically coupled Raman probe 6 comprises one or more strands. Fiber optic coating and RF shielding connects the laser 5 energy transmission to and through optics of the Raman probe 6 through a focal lens producing a convergence field 7 having a length of 5 mm for both excitation and collections of energies from specimen sample 10. The focal lens redirects the energies from the excited specimen 10 to a diachronic mirror and a secondary mirror through a second fiber optic strand or strands through the Raman probe 6 which transmits irradiated sample energies back to the spectrograph 3.

FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional illustration of a single fiber optic strand transmitting and receiving energy within the present system. A flexible single fiber optic strand 8 is provided. A long length single strand fiber optic (LLFO) 9 is coated and shielded from ambient light and may exceed 18″ in length. The LLFO 9 comprises the fiber optic strand 8.

FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional illustration of a mechanical coupling 12 for stabilizing the LLFO 9. The LLFO 9 is inserted 2 mm into and through a coupling 12 to stabilize the LLFO into the standard 5 mm convergence field 7 of the Raman probe 6.

FIG. 2D is a cross-sectional illustration of the mechanical coupling of LLFO 9 in axial alignment with the Raman probe 6. The length of the convergence field 7 is extended by coupling the LLFO 9 2 mm into the convergence field 7, thereby gaining a longer laser convergence field 7. The longer convergence field 7 irradiates and excites specimen sample 10 and collects and returns emissions data through the same strand of LLFO 9 simultaneously.

FIGS. 2E and 2F are each a plot of spectral data received by the Raman probe 6 from an irradiated sample specimen 10 of carbon fluorine perflourdecalin C10F18. Perflourdecalin C10F18 is one of several formulations of synthetic blood.

In FIG. 2E spectral data is obtained using a Raman probe according to FIG. 2A. Spectral data of FIG. 2F is received through the LLFO 9 by the Raman probe of FIG. 2D. Extending the length of the convergence field 9 by inserting an LLFO 9 into the standard laser convergence field gained at least a 600% longer laser convergence field 7 working range. The spectral image in FIG. 2F shows increased sensitivity and higher peaks compared to data of the same specimen as seen in FIG. 2 E.

FIG. 2G is a printout of a nominal LELS system run and spectroscopic analysis producing spectra of the type seen in FIG. 2E and FIG. 2F. A photon count in the penultimate line of FIG. 2G reads “false.” On computer spectral runs, most of the photons will scatter on the surface or absorb into packaging material through sampling process. The OCDM and OCDE among unknown energies or particles complete tunneling into material, irradiating the material, collecting data, returning energies through same open tunnel to the spectrograph 3 and recording of data.

FIG. 3 consists of FIGS. 3A through 3E, wherein FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view of an LLFO 9 comprising a single fiber-optic strand 8. The flexible single fiber optic strand 8 may exceed 18″ in length. The long length single strand fiber optic LLFO 9 is coated and shielded from ambient light.

FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional illustration of the single fiber optic strand of FIG. 3A inserted into a medical syringe 13. One length out of variable lengths of the LLFO 9 is inserted 2 mm through a neoprene alignment stop located in the syringe 13 where an axial end of the Raman probe 6 will rest. FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional illustration of a biopsy needle 14 having the LLFO 9 pre-inserted and being affixed to the syringe 13.

FIG. 3D is a cross-sectional illustration in which the Raman probe 6 is located in the syringe 13 to comprise a bioprobe. A one-time use sterile covering is used over bioprobe for medical usage. The single strand LLFO 9 within a sterile biopsy probe, syringe 13 and needle 14, with standard Raman biopsy probe 6 inserted into a plastic syringe, 13-14 placed within 4 to 5 mm. of sample in-vivo tissue specimen without intrusion into specimen or tumor. The energies carried through LLFO 9 irradiate specimen 10 and collect irradiated specimen energies back through the same single strand LLFO 9 in same time.

FIG. 3E is a plot of spectral data obtained by the bioprobe according to FIG. 3D from irradiated sample specimen 10 of carbon fluorine perflourdecalin chemical composition, which is a C10F18 biomarker through LLFO 9 and syringe 13 coupled to needle 14 and method of extending the length of the standard convergence 7 by inserting a long length fiber optic strand 9 into the standard laser convergence field 7 therefore gaining a 600+% longer laser convergence field working range. Again, extending the length of the standard convergence field 7 by inserting an LLFO 9 into the convergence field 7 provides at least a 600% longer laser convergence field 7 working range. FIG. 3E shows increased sensitivity and higher peaks through the LLFO 9 acquired specimen energies and data through the long length bio probe compared to data of the same specimen acquired through Raman probe 6 and convergence length 7 as seen in the spectrum of FIG. 2E.

FIG. 4 consists of FIGS. 4A and 4B, wherein FIG. 4A is a diagram of one form of quantum well laser diode suitable for use in the present Raman probe.

FIG. 4A illustrates a laser quantum well 15 region of quantum tunneling and weak diode effect, where secondary quantum tunneling and secondary wave package and entanglement occurs. The present subject matter is not limited to a specific configuration.

FIG. 4B illustrates a further form of laser diode comprising a separate confinement laser quantum well 15. The laser quantum well 15 also comprises a region of quantum tunneling and weak diode effect in quantum well, where secondary quantum tunneling and secondary wave package and entanglement occurs.

In FIG. 5, consisting of FIGS. 5A and 5B, FIG. 5A comprises a spectrum plot 16 of Bayer® aspirin, C9H8O4, as radiated through a blister pack container, Spectrum 17 is produced by the same tablet irradiated outside of blister pack with photons still in entanglement. The spectrum 16 has a higher energy count than in spectrum 17. Photons scatter on and lose energy through absorption on solid surfaces. The remaining energies tunneling through the blister pack and into the solid tablet are particles and OCDM and OCDE. After irradiating the solid pharmaceutical tablet specimen, the unknown particles and OCDM and OCDE return irradiated specimen energies back through the open tunnel of the blister pack and back through the LELS system on to analysis and spectral display. This increase in energy count through a solid object is atypical of all other Raman spectroscopy.

FIG. 5B comprises a spectrum 18 of Zyrtec® cetirizine irradiated through a blister pack. Spectrum 19 is for Zyrtec Cetirizine® irradiated outside of the blister pack. The spectrum 18 has a higher energy count. This increase in energy count through a solid object is atypical of all other Raman spectroscopy. In FIG. 5B, spectrum 19 for Zyrtec pharmaceutical tablet irradiated outside of blister pack has a lower energy count.

FIG. 6 consists of FIGS. 6A through 6E, each of which represents a spectrum for a different composition. In FIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C, the spectral count in spectra 20 through 28 increases incrementally on subsequent readings of the sample 10.

In FIG. 6A a spectrum 21 is generated from a static sample 10 of a carbon fluorine bond perflourdecalin chemical composition. The sample 10 is not vibrated or stirred prior to irradiating and collecting spectral data as shown. In order to generate the spectrum 20 the sample 10 perflourdecalin C10F18 is mixed, stirred, agitated in a test tube. Thirty seconds after agitating, the sample 10 is irradiated and the data is collected. The spectral results after sampling and collecting specimen data show an approximately 300% increase in energy count compared to the spectrum 21 of a static sample.

FIG. 6B illustrates actual spectra of sample 10 of carbon fluorine bond hexane chemical composition C6F14. The sample is irradiated and energies collected through LELS method. Spectra 25-22 are produced from a sample in the same test tube as follows:

25—static

24—vibrated, sampled after 30 seconds

23—vibrated, sampled after 5 minutes

22—vibrated, sampled after 20 minutes.

A notable energy count increase occurs after each successive time period.

FIG. 6C represents spectra of a carbon fluorine bond perflourdecalin C10F18.

Spectra 28-26 are produced from a sample in the same test tube as follows;

28—static

27—vibrated, sampled after 30 seconds

26—vibrated, sampled after 5 minutes.

With respect to spectra 21 through 28, the spectral count on the imaging device, the CCD photomultiplier 2 (FIG. 1), increases incrementally on subsequent readings of the spectra sample many minutes after initial excitation, evidencing continued propagation of energy and a time differential, a temporal delay. Evolving in free space, the time-dependent momentum and position space wave functions are:

$\mspace{140mu} {{{\Phi \left( {p,t} \right)} = {\left( \frac{x_{0}}{\hslash \sqrt{\pi}} \right)^{1/2} \cdot {\exp\left( {\frac{- {x_{0}^{2}\left( {p - p_{0}} \right)}^{2}}{2\hslash^{2}} - \frac{{ip}^{2}t}{2m\; \hslash}} \right)}}},\mspace{95mu} {{\Psi \left( {x,t} \right)} = {{\left( \frac{1}{x_{0}\sqrt{\pi}} \right)^{1/2} \cdot \frac{\text{?}}{\sqrt{1 + {i\; \omega_{0}t}}} \cdot {{\exp\left( {- \frac{\left( {x - {{ix}_{0}^{2}{p_{0}/\hslash}}} \right)^{2}}{2{x_{0}^{2}\left( {1 + {i\; \omega_{0}t}} \right)}}} \right)}.\text{?}}}\text{indicates text missing or illegible when filed}}}}$

Since σp(t)=ℏ/x₀√{square root over (2)}, this can be interpreted as a particle moving along with constant momentum at arbitrarily high precision.

On the other hand, the standard deviation of the position is:

$\mspace{290mu} {\text{?} = {\frac{x_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{1 + {\omega_{0}^{2}t^{2}}}}}$ ?indicates text missing or illegible when filed

such that the uncertainty product can only increase with time as:

$\mspace{259mu} {{\text{?}(t){\sigma_{p}(t)}} = {\frac{\hslash}{2}{\sqrt{1 + {\omega_{0}^{2}t^{2}}}.\text{?}}\text{indicates text missing or illegible when filed}}}$

FIG. 6D represents actual spectra of energies collected from a sample of Tylenol® acetaminophen, C8H9N02. Spectrum 30 is obtained from a static sample. The spectrum 29 is produced from a vibrated sample and shows a notable increase in energies and spectral information.

FIG. 6E represents spectra 32 and 31 of Lipitor® atorvastatin, C33H35FN2O5 for static and vibrated samples respectively.

FIG. 7 consists of FIGS. 7A through 7E which represent spectra of different pharmaceuticals.

FIG. 7A illustrates spectra for three different forms of aspirin tablets. The tablets are irradiated separately by the same LELS method with no prior tablet preparation. Each sample is processed identically, irradiated, and the energies collected through the Raman probe 6 and sent on to computer analysis and spectral display.

The spectra correspond to each form of aspirin as follows:

33—Bayer® aspirin

34—counterfeit aspirin tablet brand #1

35—counterfeit aspirin tablet brand #2

A spectral comparison between the brand name aspirin tablet and two separate brands of generic or counterfeit aspirin tablets is provided. Spectrum 34 for generic tablet #1 differs markedly from brand name tablet spectrum 33 and slightly differs from generic tablet spectrum 35 for generic tablet #2. Spectrum 35 for counterfeit tablet #2 differs markedly from brand name tablet spectrum 33 and differs slightly from spectrum 34 produced from counterfeit tablet #2.

This demonstration of the sensitivity of the LELS method of detecting minute differences in percentage of chemicals in similar compounds may be used for many chemical compound analyses with real time results.

FIG. 7B illustrates comparison of a spectrum 36 generated from Lipitor® atorvastatin tablet and a spectrum 37 generated from a generic atorvastatin tablet. Both the solid brand name tablet and the solid counterfeit tablet are factory coated.

Each tablet was irradiated separately, by the same LELS method with no prior tablet preparation. Each sample is irradiated, and the energies collected through LELS method sent on to computer analysis and spectral display.

Spectrum 36 corresponding to Lipitor® atorvastatin brand has a higher percentage of the chemical compound of the pharmaceutical chemical signature C35H35FN2O5. Spectrum 37 corresponding to generic atorvastatin shows a lower percentage of the active ingredient C35H35FN2O5.

FIG. 7C represents a real time rapid assay and spectral results of pharmaceutical identification of Tylenol® acetaminophen, C8H9NO2. The spectrum of FIG. 7C is made with no prior preparation of Tylenol, with noiseless spectral results.

FIG. 7D represents a spectrum generated from Cipro® ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, Cl7H18FN3O3*HCl*H20. The spectrum is generated from a solid tablet of Cipro ciprofloxacin hydrochloride made with no prior preparation, providing a clear spectrum.

FIG. 7E represents a spectrum generated from a solid tablet of Motrin® ibuprofen, C13H18O2, made with no prior preparation.

FIG. 8 consists of FIGS. 8A through 8F, each representing the spectrum of a respective mineral or gemstone. Each sample is measured without prior preparation. The present LELS method of spectroscopy accomplishes same-time geological, metallurgical, gemology, assay and verification. The low energy device has reliably unique properties, extreme sensitivity, diversity and functionality.

FIG. 8A represents a spectrum generated from amethyst crystal natural dark purple coloring. Amethyst comprises SiO2 with minor Fe4+ impurities causing amethyst's color. The amethyst is of the class tectosilicate and has a hexagonal-R, 32(trigonal-trapezohedral) crystal system.

FIG. 8B represents a spectrum generated from quartz, a form of SiO2 of the class tectosilicate and having a hexagonal-R, 32(trigonal-trapezohedral) crystal system.

FIG. 8C represents spectra generated from tourmaline crystal. Elbaite is the most well-known individual member mineral of the tourmaline group. Elbaite is the most transparent and colorful form of tourmaline. The term elbaite may be corrupted in the gemstone industry to refer specifically to green tourmaline.

Spectrum 38 is generated from green elbaite, (Na,Ca)(Mg,Li,Al,Fe2+) 3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4.

Spectrum 39 is generated from rubellite, a pink to red variety of elbaite tourmaline.
